The purpose of a consultation is primarily to make sure that the surgeon understands exactly what the patient is trying to achieve and that the patient understands exactly what they can reasonably expect from their procedure. Each of our board-certified plastic surgeons have their own personality and individual approach, so it is important that you seek out a provider who makes you comfortable and with whom you can openly communicate. Some of our doctors use advanced plastic surgery technology, like the Vectra® M3 imaging system, which gives patients a chance to view possible surgical outcomes on a three-dimensional virtual model generated from digital photographs. Many also make use of TouchMD software that allows consultation notes, educational content, before and after photos, and procedural videos, to be securely saved and privately accessed outside the office from any computer, tablet, or mobile device, putting all of the information from the consultation at your fingertips.

It is only in the very rarest of cases that a plastic surgeon will be able to perform a consultation free of charge. There is no such thing as “one-size-fits-all” plastic surgery and every patient has their own very specific needs and expectations. This is why a complete consultation is much more than a quick conversation. Your surgeon will perform a thorough medical examination, which will likely include taking photographs for analysis with advanced imaging programs and, in some cases, even complete additional diagnostic testing to determine whether you are a candidate for a specific procedure. Only then will they use their years of experience and training to determine exactly the approach that will provide you with the best possible plastic surgery results.
